Market Overview

Boom in Telecommunications Spur Demand for Next-generation Carrier Infrastructure in Latin America

Telecommunications infrastructure investments have increased across Latin America with Brazil being the largest telecommunications market in the region, followed by Mexico, Southern Cone (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia), and the Andean Region (Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador). "In order to shift their networks from circuit-switched to packet-based, telecommunications service providers are investing in network upgrades, time division multiplexing (TDM) to next-generation transition, new technologies such as evolution-data optimized (EV-DO) and enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), and value-added platforms such as Internet protocol television (IPTV), video-over-cellular, push-to-talk (PTT), and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)," cites the analyst of this research service.

Next-generation networks offer service providers low network maintenance costs and help to reduce failure possibilities. In addition, they can deliver voice through an open platform that allows the introduction of new services. They also facilitate the delivery of personalized applications with high quality and security standards. Given the considerable growth potential, the Latin American next-generation carrier infrastructure market is likely to increase its growth rate significantly in the following years.

Innovative Solutions with Added Functions Can Strengthen Vendors’ Association with Service Providers

With the increase in convergence, vendors are attempting to ensure access to voice, video, data, and other features to enable carriers to offer highly innovative services. Media gateways and softswitch vendors have already incorporated media servers, application servers and session border controllers’ features into their solutions. "However, these initiatives have reduced the potential market for smaller application or media server vendors as large carriers tend to rely on their major network infrastructure suppliers rather than small vendors with limited support services in the region," observes the analyst. "Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) can increase their market share and foster a continued relationship with service providers by adding other functions."

Technical innovation in the telecommunications market is largely based on new IP communications technologies and standards, such as IMS and triple play, rather than legacy technologies. IP-based multiservice next-generation networks enable service providers to increase the annual revenue per user, decrease churn, cross-sell, differentiate, provide value-added services, and reduce costs. Decreasing bandwidth costs can ensure cost-effective communication links, which facilitate the transmission of bandwidth-intensive applications such as voice, video, or games over IP.
